My periods are delayed by five days. I have not had unprotected penetrative sex. I took a urine pregnancy test, as advised by a doctor online, and it was negative. What should be the next step?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 5 day delay in your period with a negative urine pregnancy test and no unprotected penetrative sex is reassuring. Stress, travel, illness, or hormonal fluctuations can cause minor delays in your cycle. It is best to wait for another week, and if your period does not start, repeat a urine pregnancy test for reassurance. If your cycles continue to be irregular, consult your doctor for further evaluation to check thyroid or hormonal levels if needed.
